To meet <br /> future demands and avoid shorta�es, the City is in the �sracess o# expanding its recycRed <br /> water program to include the use of recycled wa#er#or landscape irrigatian. <br /> The Recycled Water program is highly regulated and monitored by the State Department <br /> of Health S�rvices and the Regiona! Water Quality Cantroi Board, to ensure the safe use <br /> �f recycl�d water and minimize the potential for fieatth risks. <br /> Due to the specialiaed nature ofi the recycled water program, extensive regulati�ns <br /> covering its usage, and beeause carefu! manitoring is critical to its success; Public Works <br /> Services (PWS? requested the creation of a specialized classificafion that wilt be <br /> responsible for aclministering the program. This position will be primarily responsible fior <br /> overseeing, monitoring, and implementing the city's recycled water program inc�uding: <br /> ensuring campliance with regulatory agencies; inspecting o# recycled wa#er si#es; <br /> admin+stering the cross-connection program, ar►d overseeing the construction of site <br /> retrofit plans. <br /> Attached for your review is a job description ofi the new classification of Recycled Water <br /> Specialist(see attachment 1.) <br /> A classifcation and salary survey o� other Bay Area cities was conducted. The s�trvey did <br /> not reveal sufficient data to warrant a recommendation based an external labor market. As <br /> such, an int�ma! analysis was conducted and it provided the basis for the proposed satary <br /> range of $5,27� to $6,406 pe� month. The propased satary is aligned with the fo(towing <br /> classi�ications: Customer �upport Services 5pecialist, Water t�uality Specialist, Utilities <br /> Speciaiist, and Water Conservation Specia(ist. These classification are very simiiar to the <br /> prvposed class, in that they all perform specialized functions in #he Water Utility Services <br /> Division of PSIVS and incumbents receive supervision from a Public WorKs Supervisor. <br />
